1. INTRODUCTION

Tenant Improvements Section (TIS), a unit within the Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA), established in accordance with Code of Maryland Regulations [COMAR .05.02.07.04B (1)] is the permitting authority for all tenant construction and installation projects at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Martin State Airport (MTN). TIS performs administrative work for permit applications, conducts inspections, and presides over the Permit Committee meetings which includes various MAA departments or offices (see Figure 1: MAA Permitting Process).

Figure 1: MAA Permitting Process



2. TYPES OF PERMITS

MAA Tenant Improvement Section (TIS) processes three types of permit applications: Building Permits, Installation Permits, and Single Trade Permits.

Other MAA departments issue permits that do not involve tenant construction or installation. BWI Fire & Rescue Department issues a Special Use Permit for one or two day events. Office of Planning & Environmental Services issues an Airport Zoning Permit (AZP) for BWI projects as well as for other properties located within the Airport Zoning District. The Division of Airport Risk Management issues a Confined Space Entry Permit when work is to be performed in a “Confined Space.”

2.1 Building Permits

An MAA Building Permit is required for all new construction, renovation, alteration, or site improvement work on State-owned property under the jurisdiction of MAA. Any installation that affects the existing electrical, mechanical, plumbing, or structural systems also requires a Building Permit. As part of obtaining a Building Permit, approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), other Federal and State regulatory agencies, and the Anne Arundel County Health Department may be required. (See Section 5 ADDITIONALPERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS.)

2.2 Installation Permits

Issuance of a MAA Installation Permit is required before placement or installation of signs, carpeting, antennas, displays, fixtures, or equipment within facilities owned or under the control of the MAA. Installation Permit issuance does not relieve the Applicant from his/her responsibility for proper design as well as means and methods of installation. (See Section 5 ADDITIONAL PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS.)

2.3 Single Trade Permits

Trade Permits are meant for minor projects involving a single trade such as electrical, mechanical, plumbing, or fire protection. Trade Permits must be pulled by a Maryland-licensed Master Electrician, HVACR Master, or a Master Plumber. Work shall meet the requirements of all applicable codes and regulations. For any work that requires more than one trade, the Applicant must apply for a regular Building Permit.

2.4 Building, Installation and Trade Permit Exclusions

Minor projects involving repair or replacement of worn-out, broken, or defective, components may be excluded from the requirement of a Building, Installation, or Trade Permit, except for the installation or replacement of carpeting which does require an Installation Permit. The following is a list of projects that do not require a Building, Installation, or Single Trade permit:



1. Interior and overhead door replacements or repairs, including hardware. (Note: Existing fire rated door assemblies are to be replaced with equivalently rated, U.L. listed assemblies and hardware).

2. Painting, papering, or tiling.

3. Replacement of ceiling system components.

4. Repair, maintenance, and replacement of existing electrical equipment, fixtures wiring, or minor components.

5. Repair, maintenance, and replacement of existing mechanical components.

6. Repair, maintenance, and replacement of existing interior pipes, interior drainpipes, interior waste or vent piping, interior valves, and water closets.

7. Maintenance of trees, shrubs, mulch, and landscaped beds.

8. Pothole repairs and crack sealing.

9. MAA Capital Projects.



3. PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SEAL REQUIREMENTS

“A licensee may sign or seal plans, specifications, drawings, reports, or other documents that are required to be signed and sealed pursuant to Business Occupations and Professions Article, §3-501, Annotated Code of Maryland, only if the following requirements are met:

1. The licensee is competent in the subject matter of those documents by virtue of education or experience, or both; and

2. The licensee either:

a) Personally prepared the documents, or

b) Approved the documents.”

3.2 Titleblock Requirements for Building Permit Drawings

Part of Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR 09.21.02.04), partially quoted below, requires that all drawings submitted for a building permit review shall have the following:

“C. The name of the entity shall appear in the titleblock, either as a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or other appropriate entity. In addition, the titleblock shall contain a date, printed name, signature and seal of one of the directors of a corporation, general partners of a partnership or members of a limited liability company, who prepared or approved the documents in accordance with these regulations.”

“D. The directors of a corporation, partners of a partnership, or members of a limited liability company through which architecture is practiced, may designate another employee of the entity to sign and seal the documents in accordance with the requirements set forth in these regulations if the designee:

(1) Is licensed in the State to practice architecture; and

(2) Prepared or approved the documents for a particular project in accordance with these regulations.”



“E. In addition, the titleblock shall contain the following certification:

Professional Certification

I certify that these documents were prepared or approved by me, and that I am a duly licensed architect under the laws of the State of Maryland, license number _____, expiration date _______.

Titleblock, certification, seal, and signature shall appear in close proximity to each other.”

3.3 Installation Permit Professional Seal Requirements

Installation permit drawings do not have to be signed by an Architect or Professional Engineer typically. The Permit Committee may ask for sealed drawings or details from a professional architect or engineer if the project involves alteration to means of ingress/egress or there are other public safety considerations.

3.4 Exclusions for Professional Seal

Below are types of projects that require a Building or Installation Permit but for which sealed architectural/engineering drawings are not typically required:

Installation of collision bollards.

Fences under six feet high.

Applicants do not typically attend Permit Committee meetings; however, they or their representative may request an appearance before the Committee to explain their project or to appeal previously issued review comments. It is highly recommended that in such an appearance before the Committee, the applicant be accompanied by his/her architect or engineer of record. Requests to appear before the Committee, shall be delivered to the Committee Chairman at least two days prior to the meeting date.

4.8 Permit Committee Function

The function of the Permit Committee is to review for general compliance and conformance with applicable Codes, regulations, MAA Design Standards, and compatibility of proposed work with the existing and planned facilities. The Permit Committee has the authority to render interpretations (other than interpretations of the Fire Code, or fire safety aspects of the Building Code, which are reserved solely for the Fire Marshal), in compliance with the intent and purpose of codes and standards, but it shall not waive specific requirements provided for in applicable codes. The issuance of comments or a permit creates no legal liability, expressed or implied, on the Permit Committee or Tenant Improvements Section. It is the responsibility of the applicant, the designer of record, and the selected contractor to ensure that all construction or installation complies with applicable codes, regulations, MAA Design Standards, and permit drawings approved for use in the field.



4.9 Review Time

Unless a permit application is approved during the Permit Committee meeting, the normal review period for each submission is 12 to 15 working days. The Permit Committee’s review time excludes time requirements of the FAA and other regulatory agencies. The Permit Coordinator or Permit Committee Chairman collects comments from reviewers and e-mails the review comments to the Applicant. Once review comments are issued, applicants are encouraged to contact each reviewer directly to seek clarification or to agree on a workable solution.

4.10 Approval Status

Comments by each reviewer are assigned one of the following designations: APP (Approved), AAN (Approved as Noted), or C&R (Correct and Resubmit). These terms are defined as follows:

[APP] Approved:

Reviewer has no issues with the permit application. Approval is subject to compliance with relevant codes and MAA Design Standards. Additional comments may follow on future resubmissions.

[AAN] Approved as Noted:

Comments must be acknowledged by the applicant in writing. This confirms that he or she will comply with comments before the permit can be issued. Additional comments may be provided on future resubmissions/clarifications.

[C&R] Correct and Resubmit:

Applicant needs to correct drawings, specifications, and/or documents and resubmit. Additional comments may follow on future resubmissions.

In addition to review comments, reviewers may provide “Suggestions,” in a separate column for the designer of record to consider.

4.11 Appeals and Requests for Waiver

If an applicant is aggrieved by comments issued by Tenant Improvements Section (TIS), made in the course of the administration of rules for plan review, adopted by the Maryland Aviation Administration under Code of Maryland COMAR .05.02.07.04B (1)], the person shall file within 20 days, from the date of issuance of comments, a written petition of appeal or waiver request. It is incumbent upon an applicant to first seek clarification from the reviewer whose comment is the subject of grievance. If still unsatisfied, the applicant may appeal to the Permit Committee Chairman by submitting the Appeal/Waiver Request Form (See Appendix B: Forms) with necessary documents to support his/her position. The Permit Committee Chairman shall work with the Applicant and the reviewer to resolve differences



or will provide his/her recommendations to the Deputy Executive Director, Facilities Development and Engineering, to make the final decision. The Applicant should allow ten (10) working days for a decision from the date Appeals/Waiver Request Form is filed.

4.12 Issuance of Permit

Once the Tenant Improvements Section (TIS) in conjunction with the Permit Committee is reasonably satisfied that an applicant has met all requirements, a permit is issued. Permit drawings are then stamped by MAA’s Fire Prevention Division, Fire and Rescue Department. Permits may be issued with written comments attached to the Permit set. A copy of permit set is returned to the applicant which shall be kept on the site until the completion of the project, as required by the Building Code.

Applicants are expected to pick up their permit and permit set from the office of the Permit Coordinator. Permits may also be sent by regular mail if requested by the applicant.

Issuance of a permit shall not preclude TIS inspectors from requiring correction of work found to be in violation of applicable codes, regulations, MAA Design Standards, posing a danger or work inconsistent with the approved permit set.

4.13 Deferred Submittals

Tenant Improvements Section (TIS) expects complete submittals of all construction documents, including shop drawings, at the time of permit application. However, the submissions listed below may be deferred until the design is complete. The submittals for the following items, if not part of permit set, must be reviewed by the design professional who shall forward them, via the Applicant, to TIS or the Fire Marshal’s office prior to construction/installation:

1. Fire alarm system drawings and product data.

2. Fire suppression (sprinkler) design drawings.

3. Fire stopping product data.

5.1 Tenant Information Advisory (TIA)

BWI Tenant Information Advisory (TIA) is a codified announcement used to convey information of a short-term nature to tenants at BWI. If a project is going to affect other tenants at the airport, the applicant should submit a Tenant Information Advisory to MAA Office of Operations. The TIA should be written in an easy to understand language and should state the following:

1. Timeframe: days and hours of the work;

2. Who will be affected and how;

3. Location of the work; and

4. Scope of the project and the necessity.

TIAs must be submitted at least ten (10) business days in advance to BWI Airport Operations Administrative Assistant at [email protected] for processing with a copy to Mary Ricker, Executive Assistant at [email protected].

5.2 Airport Zoning Permit

The purpose of the Airport Zoning Permit (AZP) is to identify land uses, obstructions, and wildlife attractants that are incompatible with airport operations. The AZP application must be submitted for projects within a Certified Noise Zone and/or Airport Zoning District (the area defined by a four-mile radius of BWI or a three-mile radius of MTN). For any construction or modification that will increase the height, change the use, or alter the exterior finish of an existing structure, or create a new structure, the Applicant must obtain an Airport Zoning Permit (MAA-010) before an MAA Building Permit will be issued. In addition, applicants may be required to file a Notice of Construction or Alteration (FAA Form 7460-1) requesting that the FAA perform an obstruction evaluation. This evaluation process typically takes approximately 60 days. If the proposed project is not identified on the FAA approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP) then a revision to the ALP is necessary. No construction may proceed until the FAA approval has been received. The ALP approval process can take from four (4) months to two (2) years, depending upon the nature of the project. Permit issuance does not relieve the applicant from his/her responsibility for proper design and construction of the project. Forms are available and applications are coordinated through MAA Division of Airport Facilities Planning and TIS. See also, Appendix C: Additional Permits,Authorizations, Forms, and Criteria.

5.3 Hot Work and Welding Permit

A Welding and Burning Permit is required for any work that involves welding, cutting or any task that would deplete oxygen, create toxic fumes and vapors, or create the potential for fire or explosion. This permit can be obtained from the BWI Fire & Rescue Department and can be reached at 410-859-7511.





At Martin State Airport (MTN), the Hot Work Permit is obtained from the Airport Operations Office in the Terminal and can be reached at 410-682-8831. For the application form, please see Appendix C: Additional Permits, Authorizations, Forms, and Criteria.

5.4 Confined Space Permit

5.9 Other Agency Approval: Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE)

The applicant is required to obtain additional permits from Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE), coordinated through TIS, for projects that impact air and radiation management, waste management, and water management. Some projects may require additional approvals, permits, and operating plans to operate a facility once it has been constructed. Typical activities that would require permits include but are not limited to the following:

1. Air pollution sources that generally require state permits to construct: coating and painting operations, asphalt refurbishing, spray paint booth operations, fuel-burning equipment and the use of chemical processing equipment.

2. Air pollution sources that generally require state permits to operate: crushing equipment, VOC storage tanks, galvanizing operations, wood digesters, and pulverized material separators.

3. Permits that include petroleum storage and handling typically require oil operations permits. If total above ground storage is greater than 1,320 gallons or underground storage is greater than 42,000 gallons then the applicant must submit a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan prior to the facility becoming operational. Appropriate secondary containment structures will be required for above ground storage tanks.

6. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

6.1 Asbestos

BWI and Martin State Airport have removed friable asbestos from accessible locations within buildings. However, some asbestos may be present behind walls or column covers, in floor tiles or mastics, and in other inaccessible places.

When work is identified that could impact or disturb asbestos containing material, the Environmental Compliance office may perform an asbestos abatement project to remove such materials prior to construction. The applicant should Contact the Environmental Compliance office early in the renovation planning process to help determine if asbestos abatement is required and allow time in the construction schedule for abatement.

During the demolition phase of some projects, the MAA Division of Environmental Compliance may have a licensed asbestos inspector present. If materials are identified in this phase of a project, and if plans call for disturbing the asbestos containing material, an asbestos abatement project may be required. MAA may decide to leave asbestos material that is not friable in place.

In 1973, EPA banned the use of spray-on asbestos insulation and in 1989 issued a ruling that eliminated almost all new uses of asbestos. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) regulates how persons work with asbestos and train those who work with asbestos.

6.2 Lead Paint

Lead-based paint is no longer used in residential settings (its use was banned in housing in 1978) but it may still be used in non-residential applications that require superior corrosion protection or durability. Lead-based paint may also be found on structures that have since been re-painted (painted over) with non-lead paint. Lead-based paint may be present on outdoor painted surfaces such as curbs, bollards, road or runway markings, metal doorframes and doors.

MAA no longer uses lead-based paint. However, there are a number of older buildings, tenant spaces and structures that may have lead-based paint coated components. In 2003, MAA extensively surveyed accessible painted surfaces in and on MAA-owned buildings at BWI and Martin State Airport for lead-based paint using an X ray fluorescence device.

MAA tries to identify permits that may disturb lead based paint and will perform encapsulation or abatement of these materials if required. It is also the duty of the contractor to immediately bring it to the attention of MAA Division of Environmental Compliance when lead paint is encountered in the project area.

Appendix E: Supplemental Requirements


Supplemental RequirementsE1 Badging RequirementsGenerally the Airport prefers that all individuals working in a restricted area successfully complete a fingerprint based Criminal History Record Check (CHRC); a Security Threat Assessment; and be trained, tested prior to being issues a BWI Airport Identification/Access Badge. It is understood that some individuals will not be able to successfully complete a CHRC due to the presence of disqualifying crimes as defined by the Transportation Security Administration. These employees are permitted to work in a restricted area, but must be under continuous escort by a badged individual with escort authority.

E2 Restricted Areas

BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) requires that the Primary Contractor develops and submits for approval to the BWI Security Division (ASD) a Project Security Plan (PSP) for all work performed within one of the Airport’s Restricted Areas. The PSP is developed and submitted by the Primary Contractor to include all work performed by the Primary Contractor and all Subcontractors hired under each separate MAA contract. The PSP must be submitted for review and approval to the ASD Thirty (30) calendar days prior to commencement of work in order to allow the ASD time to submit a changed condition request to the Transportation Security Administration for approval (49 CFR 1542.107D. It must detail all measures the Primary Contractor will undertake to implement the following:

Identify a Security Liaison for each work site who will be responsible for ensuring compliance by all Primary Contractor and Subcontractor personnel to all Airport Security Division (ASD) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security rules and regulations. Each site’s Security Liaison (or a designated alternate) must be present at the work site at all times while work is in progress and be available to respond to the ASD and/or TSA or their authorized representatives upon demand. The Project Security Liaison must be available by telephone during non-working hours for the entire duration of the subject MAA contract.

Issue all non-badged personnel under escort hard hats of a single uniform red color and all Contractor personnel, acting as escort shall have hard hats of a separate, single uniform blue color. All other personnel may use any color hardhat except red and blue.

Procure and deploy all fencing, gates, and barriers indicated in the Contract Security Plans for the purpose of enveloping, enclosing and securing the work site during both working and non-working hours (see Attachment 1).

Identify the number of BWI ID badged (badge holder) personnel with Escort Authority that will be responsible for escorting non-badged employees. Escorts may be conducted by the Contractor’s own personnel (with Escort Authority), an ASD Approved Private Security Contractor or by the current Airport Security Contractor; however, all escort related costs, of both equipment and personnel, is the sole responsibility of the Primary Contractor. Under normal circumstances, one (1) badge holder with Escort Authority may escort no more than five (5) non-badged workers. Contractor personnel acting as escorter for non-badged personnel shall have no other work related responsibilities while performing escort duties.


All Contractor self-propelled equipment and machinery must be inspected and must display a valid airfield registration decal. All other (unregistered) vehicles must remain under continuous escort while in the work site and while traveling in the restricted areas or to and from the work site.

An airfield registered vehicle, driven by a badge holder with appropriate Escort, Power Gate and AOA driving privileges, must lead all escorted unregistered vehicles, while in any restricted area, to and from the work site at all time and in accordance with established escorting procedures. For convoys of five (5) or more vehicles in number, a second airfield registered vehicle must be provided by the Contractor to exercise control of the rear of the convoy. The second vehicle must also be driven by an authorized badge holder with Escort, Power Gate, and AOA driving privileges.

All work requiring access through a non-power/unguarded perimeter gate must be included in the PSP. Otherwise, a written amendment to the PSP must be submitted for approval to the ASD a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of such work. All non-power/unguarded perimeter gates used to escort vehicles and equipment into any of the airport’s restricted areas must be staffed by Airport Security Contractor personnel. A minimum of three Airport Security Contract officers must be present at each perimeter gate being utilized in order to conduct the required searches and logging-in of escorts for both vehicles and individuals. All costs related to Airport Security Contractor personnel and equipment needed to comply with the security requirements of the ASD for use of non-power/unguarded perimeter gates are the sole responsibility of the Primary Contractor.

All work performed within 10’ (ten feet) of the Security Perimeter Fence (SPF) must be included in the PSP. Otherwise, a written amendment to the PSP must be submitted for approval to the ASD a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of such work. If, at any point, the work being performed requires the opening, re-positioning or dismantling of any portion of the SPF where access into the airport’s restricted area may be gained, the Contractor must provide an adequate number of security Contractor personnel to maintain security at the site as determined by the ASD. If any damage to the SPF is noted or affected at any time during the project, the Contractor must immediately notify Airport Operations at 410-859-7018 and make arrangements to provide Airport Security Contractor personnel to maintain security at the site of the damage until the damage is repaired by the Contractor and inspected and approved by the ASD.

The Primary Contractor should make provisions to obtain BWI ID badges for all Contractor personnel working on the project at least three weeks prior to the commencement of work. All individuals who require access into the restricted areas and who are, or believe they will be, unsuccessful in obtaining a BWI ID badge must remain under close and continuous escort at all times while in the restricted areas in accordance with 4 above. All escorted construction personnel must also provide to the ASD his/her full name, date of birth and social security number, as required by the ASD for screening purposes, at least seven (7) calendar days prior to actual date the escort is to be conducted. The information will be utilized to run the individual’s name against the Federal “No-Fly/Selectee List”.

Individuals will be issued an “Escortee Badge” after successful comparison against the ‘No-Fly/Selectee List.”


Individuals with a positive hit on the “No-Fly Selectee List” will be denied escorted access into a restricted area until they have successfully cleared their name from the “No-Fly/Selectee List.

E3 Non-Restricted/Public Areas

Work performed inside or within 300’ of the Main Terminal Building and other public areas within 10’ of the Security Perimeter Fence (SPF) described below requires that the Primary Contractor develops and submits for approval to the BWI Airport Security Division (ASD) a Project Security Plan (PSP). The PSP is developed and submitted by the Primary Contractor to include all work performed by the Primary Contractor and all Subcontractors hired under each separate MAA contract. The PSP must be submitted for review and approval to the ASD thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of work and must detail all measures the Primary Contractor will undertake to implement the following:

Identify a Security Liaison for each work site who will be responsible for ensuring compliance by all Primary Contractor and Subcontractor personnel to all Airport Security Division (ASD) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security rules and regulations. Each site’s Security Liaison (or a designated alternate) must be present at the work site at all times while work is in progress and be available to respond to the ASD and/or TSA or their authorized representatives upon demand. The Project Security Manager must be available by telephone during non-working hours for the entire duration of the subject MAA contract.

All work performed within 10’ (ten feet) of the SPF must be included in the PSP. Otherwise and amendment to the PSP must be submitted for approval to the ASD a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to commencement of work. If, at any point, the work being performed requires the opening, re-positioning or dismantling of any portion of the SPF where access into the airport’s Restricted Areas may be gained, the Contractor must provide an adequate number of Private Security Contractor or Airport Security Contractor personnel and equipment to maintain security at the site as determined by the ASD. If any damage to the SPF is noted or affected at any time during the project, the Contractor must immediately notify Airport Operations at 410-859-7018 and make arrangements to provide Private Security Contractor or Airport Security Contractor personnel to maintain security at the site of the damage until the damage is repaired by the Contractor and inspected and approved by the ASD.

All work that requires parking Contractor work vehicles, or other self-propelled equipment, within three hundred feet (300’) of the airport’s Terminal building must obtain a Construction Vehicle Permit prior to commencement of work. These permits are issued to Contractors named in the Authorized Contractors List. Each vehicle belonging to the Contractor must obtain a separate permit. Permits are issued based on the length of time for which they are required and expire either daily or monthly. Vehicles are inspected at Gate A and issued the permit for the appropriate length of time. The Contractor must designate and maintain an individual to remain with the permitted vehicle(s) at all times while within 300’ of the Main Terminal Building.

E4 Safety Requirements: Airfield Area
